Spoken Word Test

This page a bunch of random text thrown together while developing to test and demonstrate the functionality. Some of the content is copied from the Wikipedia article on “Bison”. For best results, also have installed a Spanish voice via your system's speech preferences. This test shows that speech can switch between languages. It also shows that controls are dynamically added when new articles are added to the document.

The functionality is disabled on Android and iOS devices because speechSynthesis is not implemented well enough on those platforms or there are issues with range selection on touch devices (you can force it on). So please test the following on Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on a desktop device (tested on OSX).

Of the two surviving species, the American bison, B. bison, found only in North America, is the more numerous. Although commonly known as a buffalo in the United States and occasionally in Canada[1], it is only distantly related to the true buffalo. The North American species is composed of two subspecies, the Plains bison, B. b. bison, and the Wood bison, B. b. athabascae, which is the namesake of Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada. A third subspecies, the Eastern Woodland Bison (B. b. pennsylvanicus) is no longer considered a valid taxon, being a junior synonym of B. b. bison.[2] References to "Woods Bison" or "Wood Bison" from the eastern United States confusingly refer to this subspecies, not B. b. athabascae, which was not found in the region. The European bison, B. bonasus, or wisent, is found in Europe and the Caucasus, reintroduced after being extinct in the wild.

Classification

While all bison species are classified in their own genus, they are sometimes bred with domestic cattle (genus Bos) and produce fertile offspring called beefalo or zubron.
